Sentinel Education Writer Wins Award

October 11, 1985

Orlando Sentinel staff writer Carolyn Cox has won first place in the 1985 School Bell Awards for Journalistic Excellence.

The awards, given by the Florida Education Association-United, recognize contributions to the public's understanding of education through reports and analysis of issues affecting Florida's public education system.

Cox, 32, won first place in the editorial series competition for newspapers with a circulation of 100,000 and more. The series focused on public involvement in education.

Cox covers education in Lake County. She has been employed by the Sentinel for four years, where she served as an editor and a member of the editorial board before joining the Lake County bureau in August 1984.

She and other winners will be recognized at FEA's 100th statewide convention Oct. 18 in Hollywood.
